TRY AGAIN
<p>"I cannot quit" I mutter raggedly under my breath as I make my way across the dark, winding path.</p><p>The ground beneath my feet is uneven, and every few steps, I stumble, not enough to fall, just enough to remind me that progress doesn’t always look clean.</p><p><br/></p><p>I stop once. Then twice.</p><p>Each pause feels like defeat dressed up as rest.</p><p>The thought crosses my mind to turn back.</p><p>Not because the path is impossible, but because trying again feels heavier each time I fail.</p><p><br/></p><p>But the words linger.</p><p>Try again.</p><p>They echo in my head, over and over, the way they were written - endless, relentless, almost mocking.</p><p><br/></p><p>So I do.</p><p><br/></p><p>I try again when my legs ache.</p><p>I try again when doubt taps me on the shoulder, asking who I think I am to keep going.</p><p>I try again even when the only thing waiting ahead is uncertainty.</p><p><br/></p><p>And then it clicks. This is the point.</p><p>Not the destination.</p><p>Not the applause.</p><p>Not even the win.</p><p>The trying.</p><p><br/></p><p>So I won’t just try again.</p><p>I’ll try again, and again, and again, and again.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe I’ll keep trying till my pen runs out and my blood dries up.</p><p>Because quitting has never written anything worth reading.</p>
